    The proof of humanity is going for an em-dash in an application that doesn’t fix them for you, and instead just having two dashes side by side.

    It’s so frustrating because I’ve always used them, because it makes sense to use them like any other linguistic device!

      Yeah. AI hasn’t been able to replicate the depression that comes from living under a capitalist dystopia. Waking up every morning and hearing the news of how many more brown kids were bombed with my tax dollars.

      Can’t mistake me for AI. But at least I can kill myself. ChatGPT has to answer how many Rs are in strawberry forever.

      Just be yourself and use the first person a lot. Adding something from your personal experience and avoid repeating the same point over and over helps too.

    I’ll keep using my em dashes and bulleted lists, and in exchange I’ll just write unbearably long posts so you know I’m a human. Deal?

    I have 20 years of typography muscle memory and styleguide rules that dictate proper use of em and en dashes. I’m not dumbing it down. If people can’t tell AI from human writing we’re truly cooked and it won’t be because of punctuation.

    Bullet points with sub titles in bold are soo easy to understand, but now they makes me look like a fool. A goddarn fool.
